To determine if 1316 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 1316.
If the factors of 1316 are only 1316 and 1, then we know that 1316 is a prime number. Otherwise, 1316 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 1316 is only divisible by 1 and 1316, then it is a prime number, and if 1316 is divisible by more than 1316 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 1316 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 47, 94, 188, 329, 658, 1316
Therefore, since 1316 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 1316 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
composite
Is 1317 prime or composite?
